    E-bikes declared illegal to use on European roads without insurance

    Interesting Grauniad aticle with some figures but a bit vague on detailed analysis on circumstances leading to increase of deaths Apart from claiming speed and getting on and off pedelecs was decimating riders. Could the increase of deaths of elderly pedelecers be simply in line with increase...

    E-bikes declared illegal to use on European roads without insurance

    Fiirst I'd want those wanting to impose such insurance measures to produce figures showing there was a significant problem with pedelecs causing/being involved in accidents involving others. Wasn't there a similar scare about off road motorised vehicles needing insurance a short while ago...

    20 mile commute on an Electric Mountain Bike...

    Depends on time of year and type of off-road trail. Relatively smoothish and dry during summer I use Big Apple Plus (good for road as well) - and if a bit wet and muddy during winter Smart Sam Plus. https://www.schwalbe.com/en-GB/tour-reader/big-apple-plus.html...

    NATO Forces Test Bultaco Electric Bikes for Fast Response Applications

    Looks like the intended use is more in support roles i.e Police & military base security patrol / response rather than front line combat from reading the linked article. Not sure what motorcycles militaries use now that a pedelec could compete against / supplement , but IIRC KLR650, Rotax...

    apple crap

    4 x Corsair Hydro H60 Rev2 Liquid Cooling System (Intel Narrow ILM 2011) You might want to ask them what they'd do if it leaks out of warranty? ;-)

    apple crap

    Amazed Apple haven't gone out business... Admittedly. apart from a G4 dual 400, & plugs and cables many moons ago, I haven't bought anything new from Apple. Bought refurbished second hand out of Apple warranty models and haven't been disappointed as current mac is now almost a decade old (5...

    apple crap

    Good to see its price is holding up so well after all these years. Wonder how much a decade old PC would be worth now....

    apple crap

    So why post clickbait videos trashing Apple on an electric push bike forum if you don't have any experience with Apple products?

    apple crap

    Best you boycott Apple products and spend your hard earned with somebody more able to meet your high expectations.

    apple crap

    Again Title of the clickbait video you posted "Apple REFUSED to Fix our iMac Pro" Please reflect on it before replying.

    apple crap

    They dismantled it and fess up they dropped it - so not surprising Apple won't fix it - it's in the first few seconds of the clickbait video you originally posted. @1:06 Shouting that "Apple REFUSED to Fix our iMac Pro". Perhaps they should have thought of the consequences of taking it apart...

    apple crap

    With the imac you get what you pay for and its sleek styling & compactness which limits upgradability / repairs. Hence why I stick with a relatively ancient Mac Pro tower running latest OS and both SSD and conventional HDs. 500 GB SSD has OS and apps while all my files are on 3 other internal...

    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    IIRC It was someone (Tommie ?) originally posting the Nolan article/vid that first got the attention here that things weren't all well in NI pedelec wise and publlicised the ridiculousness of the current situation. Just saying - any wider publicity and allies for your campaign can't do any harm.

    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    Ironically enough a few years ago everytime I taxed my motorcycle it was always printed as BICYCLE. Just a thought in promoting and garning further support for sorting out your problem - what about contacting the Nolan Show's Vinny Hurrell...

    after prostate cancer operation

    My Dad ignored signs of problems with his prostate and avoided his GP - just took Alka Seltzer (?1?!) Within a year the cancer had spread all the way through to his bones, his weight was just a few stones (he was over 6 ft tall) light enough that I could carry him from his bed to the bath...
